Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is mulling whether to launch a Friday impeachment trial for President Trump, as the US House of Representatives moved on Wednesday to vote on one article accusing Trump of "willfully inciting violence against the government of the United States" ahead of last week's 'riot' at the Capitol which left five people dead.
If the Senate votes to convict, Trump could be removed from office just days before his term is set to end, according to Reuters.
Under the U.S. Constitution, impeachment in the House would trigger a trial in the Senate on whether to oust the president. Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had previously suggested no trial could begin until the Senate was scheduled to be back in regular session on Jan. 19, only a day before Trump’s term ends and Democratic President-elect Joe Biden is due to be sworn in.
Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, have pressured McConnell to agree to bring the Senate back under emergency circumstances to take up Trump’s impeachment before he leaves office. -Reuters
